Play ball

Posted by Are dee em on Sat Aug 1 14:17:32 2020

Last week when the Marlins were turning up sick I gave this pathetic season 2 weeks. Now the St. Louis Cardinals are testing positive. When is this absurd cardboard farce going to end?

I totally agree. Take a knee to end the farce.

I think the season will end within 2 weeks.

I share your frustration. But it’s not only Damn Covid 19. It’s our cavalier approach to handling it. This thing spreads faster and easier than we realize. The longer we put “supposed” systems in place to contain it MLB is finding that it’s a genie out of the bottle. How is the NFL with all that huffing and puffing gonna keep a lid on things? How many huddles would you feel comfortable in?

What's so cavalier about the handling? It's more draconian than in other countries who are moving on.

The other countries that are moving on are starting to spike again. I say let's keep the draconian handling. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-53618180

Draconian?

That's Italy in March. You couldn't leave your residence without proof of essential business, and I don't think food shopping qualified.

If all indoor businesses would just require masks and social distancing, all the time (which kills indoor bars, restaurants, and entertainment), I think we'd get a steady decrease in cases.
